Will Changing Your Google Password Log You Out of Other Devices?

Changing your Google password is a crucial step in maintaining your online security. However, many users wonder whether doing so will log them out of other devices. The answer is - it depends.

When you change your Google password, it will not automatically log you out of other devices where you are signed in. Most devices, apps, and services will allow you to stay signed in even after you change your password. However, there are some scenarios where you may be automatically logged out:

1. Active Sessions: Some services may require you to re-enter your password on all devices where you are currently signed in.
2. Security Measures: Google, for instance, may log you out of other devices if it detects suspicious activity or if you are signing in from a new location.
3. Password Syncing: Some devices may sync your new password automatically, logging you out of older sessions.

In general, it is a good security practice to log out and log back in on all devices after changing your password. This ensures that your new password is updated everywhere and reduces the risk of unauthorized access to your Google account.
